‘I love Nicci Frenchs books, and with The Unheard they are right at the top of their game. Few crime writers can match their psychological acuity, of their ability to lead a reader through dizzying plot twists without ever losing pace. Its an absolute masterclass of crime writing’Kate Rhodes, author of the Locked-Island Mystery series
Praise for Nicci French:
‘Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre’ Erin Kelly
Part ingenious locked-room mystery. Part youve-got-the-wrong-person nightmare drama. Part intricate memory game. Yet all seamlessly woven together. Frenchs best book yet A J Finn
Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable’ Louise Candlish
Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute Sarah Vaughan
Great writing, razor-sharp plotting, and powerful characterisation. I was 100 pages in before I even drew breath, and I defy anyone to see the ending coming Cara Hunter
Its Nicci French perfection which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued’ Sophie Hannah
A novel that blissfully plays with two genres: on the one hand an against-the-odds legal thriller la John Grisham and on the other a Miss Marple whodunnit Sunday Times
